On the subject of e-bikes.

Surely they're expensive as everyone first looked, although there's a couple of benefits - no licence and registration is needed until the government decides it is needed which won't happen I reckon as it's still a "bicycle"

No license, insurance or fuel/maintenance costs. Although $4k upfront I wouldn't think there would be much running costs after this. Just plug & play.

So finished moving house over the last 2 weekends.. f**k doing that again for a while!! 

Hired a truck for the big main shit in the end, man those things are stressful to drive with the height, visibility etc. was close to taking out the gutters on my house didn't realise it was so tall. They are also SLOW AF flat foot and you barely make lights and normal cars pull away lel. 

Ebike vs motorbike the decision is simple, if you are just using it for work commute <10km without freeways / high speed needed then Ebike all the way. Motorbike if high speed and you plan on riding through the hills on the weekends and making a hobby out of it & joining the community. Don't forget 1k at least for semi decent gear.

Yep, upfront costs are quite high, same with current corp of electric cars.

It'll get cheaper over time or if you're prepared to go s/hand.

Why V-town? Pretty close to your folks now. You can go yabbying in the dell. Will swing past next time I visit the olds.

Loving my freeway access in the south east though. Aaron/Sunkist and I just realised we live 2-3 mins from each other  now - car working bees coming right up.

I thought my double was small - is that a 5.5 x 6 and your car just takes up a shitload of it?

Yeah really close to your folks let me know when you are around, we chose V-town because closer to work basically & near the freeway. 

Nah it's actually a pretty decent size it's just my car is parked way over in the middle of it so doesn't look it. there's a fair bit of space in front of my car with a work bench too, my cars 5 meters long don't forget (nohomo)

That photo is basically taken from the kitchen.

I like Finnegan from roadkills garage, the whole bottom level of his house is garage/workshop/storage space. Would be hard to get that approved by the council though I would think.

Dad got a pit built into his garage when they built their place in 1990 still works awesome for low cars / oil changes etc

Monash and the south gippy, but not far from eastlink either.

Basically I can get anywhere reasonably quickly. Except the city. But on a good traffic day that would still be only ~40 mins.

Protip for garage kitchen access...get a storage tub from bunnings and put it just inside the garage near kitchen door. So handy to throw bottles/cardboard/paper/fingernails into.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
